4. Skill Development
A proportional relationship is a set of equivalent ratios.
Equivalent ratios have equal values using different numbers.
How did I/you identify information about the given ordered pairs?
How did I/you if the ratios given are equivalent?
How did I/you determine whether the graph shows a proportion?
CFU 3 1 2
Read the problem carefully.
Identify what two quantities are being compared.
Identify the given ordered pairs. What does each ordered pair tell you?
Do the ordered pairs represent equivalent ratios?
When graphed, in order to be a proportion, the graph must pass two tests:
1. Line Must Be Straight Line must intersect at ORIGIN (0,0)
Determine if the graph shows a proportion.
We will determine if a graph shows a proportion. 1 2 3 4 a b
Human hair grows, on average, at a rate of ½ inch per month. We can represent this information in a graph.
What does the ordered pair (3, 1.5) represent?
______________________________________________________________________________________
